Author's Notes:
Word, bitches. Old school green day fans might remember me from back in the day
at greendaysite.com. I've come out of hiatus just long enough to compose the entire
American Idiot Album as a gift to you - the fans - who are either too lazy or too
incompetent to figure these out on your own. You're fucking welcome.
If you wanna use this file in its entirety, or just as individual songs, make sure
to include my name on it somewhere. I worked hard on these so you could use them for
free. Plagiarism is for pussies - don't be a dick and everyone will be happy.
This text file is broken down as follows: songs are separated by a "____" At the
beginning of each song, I've defined all the chords that will be used, and to what
they will be referred. For example:
F: F (2 fr.):
e----- e-----
B----- B-----
G----- G--10-
D--3-- D--10-
A--3-- A--8--
E--1-- E-----
means that wherever "F" occurs in the song, play it on the 6th string, and wherever
"F(2)" occurs, play it on the 5th string. The reason for this seems obvious to me, but
I kinda have to explain it because 99% of the internet is retarded: the purpose is each
chord, "F" and "F(2)" are both technically of the fifth form (F5), the only difference
being that F(2) is one octave higher than F. So in a song where there is an F played on
the 6th string, then later, an F is played on the 5th string, the two must somehow be
differentiated or else it will sound weird when the reader attempts to play it. Duh.
Anyhow, I chose this method over tabbing the chords over and over throughout the song
because it keeps things nice and neat. I also tried to place the chord changes over the
lyrics as accurately as possible, but it's not precise. It shouldn't need to be anyhow;
music is all vibes. Get a feel for the song and the chord changes should come naturally,
as should the rhythm. Practice makes perfect!
If you find any major errors or what-not, feel free to send me an e-mail. Chances are, I
won't respond if you have a minor variation to a solo or a lyric. If you're good enough to
hear what I can't, then you don't really need this file, do you? Leave me alone. If, on the
other hand, there's some outrageous mistake, let me know. I'll be cool about it.
So, that's it. Enjoy. And if you're in Phoenix, give me a shout; we'll party. Until
next time, kiddies - rock on!

Notes:
This song is complicated yet simple; the chord structure is
characteristically Green Day in that there are very few chords played in
different patterns for the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc. Where it differs
from their other songs, however, is its dramatic shifts in style and tone
throughout. Incidentally, the song is nearly 10 minutes long, comparable in
length to rock operas like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody."
To date, this is Green Day's only rock opera (with the possible exception of
"Homecoming," another track on this album).
Consequently, I've broken it down into component parts, each part denoting a
shift in style or tone; these are denoted by "PART" and then a roman numeral
designating the part of the song.

NOTES: This song makes use of a particular riff, introduced at the beginning. This
pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So, when the
rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A, when
the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then played
over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab out the
pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the pattern
and is playing it over the transcribed chords :)
